Shade- I don't own Yu Yu Hakusho
Chapter 8: cells
Serena paced around the room nervously. She had just witnessed the murder of the boys' slave driver. They had no where to go. So they would stay here. With him. She shook her head trying to deny the thoughts that grazed the outskirts of her mind. She stopped to think what the devil man would do next.
The cells.
He would have them be taken to the cells. Then think of a proper death for each one individually. Yes, that's what he would do.
Serena fell to the floor with her hands pressed up against her forehead. She could just imagine the things the boys would go through at the cells. They would join the other sinners. Serena knew first hand they were bad. Though they weren't born bad, it was Hades and what they did to them that made them change. Now they were cannibals, known to eat what ever slipped under the iron door, just for they chance to live for another hour or two.
Running her fingers through her soft blonde hair, she closed her eyes to try and imagine. Try to think of Limbo. Though no clear memories came to her, she still smiled. She knew what was there, other loving angels, and her mother. Even though Serena could not remember her mothers face she could remember other things, her scent, her touch, her over all embrace.
Quickly, Serena opened her eyes back to reality remembering the boys. She ran towards her tall double doors swinging them open, letting the wind blow into her face. As her curtains flew up in the air with the wind behind her, she leaned over the balcony railing. Down, underneath the dirt and thorns below the castle, were the cells.
The cells
The boys were walking in a straight line in between two large boar-like demons. As they past each torch that protruded from the wall, they could hear the cackling and maniacal laughter that got louder and louder after each step they took. They were linked together by chains around their wrists and ankles, which made a jingling noise for every movement. The first demon opened the iron door into the cells. A quite nasty scent flooded through the long underground hallway, making the boys shudder. The first demon turned around.
"Follow me." He said in his unidentifiable accent.
"Isn't that what we've been doing?" Hiei asked sarcastically and angrily.
"Hey!" The boar drove his huge arm into Hiei's chest, throwing him into the dirty wall pulling the other three with him.
"There's no talking back from slaves!" He yelled at him.
"Oh no, they ain't slaves, they be half dead." The other demon laughed out with the first. Their voices echoed into the darkness.
The first demon bent down to Hiei's face.
"Don't be thinking you can do whatever you want down here. You need to watch your mouth. Otherwise, you'll be watching tha worst of yer nightmares fer the rest of yer life." He snuffed air into Hiei's face which caused him to kick dirt back into the demons' face.
"Hey!" The demon was about to tackle Hiei before he was stopped.
"Don't do it! We'll let the devil man do with him what he deserves." He agreed, and grabbed Hiei's chain and walked them all into the cells.
"Hiei! Are you completely out of your mind?! You can't be taking risks like this, especially down here!" Yusuke said to him.
"Yeah! You'll get us all killed! And I don't want to die!" Kuwabara told him.
"Yes Hiei, no more outbursts." Kurama looked at him sternly.
Hiei said nothing, and let the boar lead him through the maze type cells.
"Fresh meat!" One of the boars yelled. Then, out of the blue, tons of thick, hairy arms flew from their cells, only to be stopped by the iron bars.
"He, he, this is what you'll turn inta' when ya live in the cells. But, fer you, ya may not live long enough to turn inta' them." The boys ignored what the demons were trying to scare them with and just peered into each individual cell. There were demons who you could tell were starved, with their skinny body. You could count each rib even in the deep darkness of each cell. Some had a look of anger and hatred in their eyes, hate for who else, but the devil man?
"These are yer cells, get in." The demon threw the four boys into the one cell. Its rank smell basically summed up its all around condition inside. The boars left the eyesight of the boys as they turned a corner. They knew they had finally left when the dim light that was flickering weakly went out as they closed the iron door.
"Great, what do we do now? There's no way we can escape and if we did we couldn't do anything to protect ourselves!" Yusuke threw his arms in the air, causing Kurama's and Kuwabara's to go up slightly too.
None of the boys had the energy to respond. All they could see in their mind was that their mission... was failed.
"Please send Serena to me." The deep voice coming out of the darkened half of the large room said to one of his guards.
"Yes sir." He left and went after Serena.
The guard walked down the hall and opened Serena's bedroom doors. Serena had left her balcony and was sitting silently on her bed. She looked up to the guard and could see in his eyes the devil man wanted to see her. So, without fussing, she stood up and walked out in front of the guard as he closed the doors leaving the room dark.
Serena entered the all familiar surroundings of the main room where the devil man spent most his time. As the guard stopped at the door and stood where he was supposed to, Serena walked to the center and stopped.
"Serena, do you know where I took those four troublemakers?" The devil man said.
"The cells." She answered simply with her hands held behind her back.
"Correct. You always knew my moves. Do you know how I'm going to kill them?" He asked next.
Serena froze for a second, hearing the fate of the boys from the man who would make it final.
"No." She answered truthfully waiting for what the devil man would say next.
"Yes, no one knows, not even me. Tell me, did any of them affect you or hurt you? Tell you something perhaps that... raised your emotions." His voice picked a chord in Serena's mind and Hiei's face formed an image in her mind.
"We're here to save you."
The words stuck in her mind. When he had said those words to her she felt a feeling that she had not experienced in a long time. Hope. Although, realizing this, she quickly shut the thoughts of him out of her mind, but it was too late. The devil man had read her mind and Hiei would be his first target.
"Thank you my Serena. Guards, please escort Miss Serena back to her room and afterwards, please arrange for the short black haired misfit to be the first executed."
"NO!" Serena yelled as one of the guards stuck a needle into her side to sedate her. As her limp body fell into the guards arms. He swung her over his shoulder and walked her out of the room. Light laughter filled the room, barely audible. This was the devil mans favorite way to kill a person. In direct effect of another's feelings and emotions. Just like he had done with the slave all those years ago.
That slave made a mistake, he formed a relationship with his Serena. No doubt Serena had loved that man. Or what she could identify as the closest feeling to love. The funny thing is though, they never spoke one word to each other. But, in some way, they were connected. No one knew how, but they had a chemistry that no one could destroy. But despite that fact, the devil man tried his hardest, and in the end he had killed any relationship between the two.
He had felt good of his actions, no one would make such conduct or form such things with out his permission. He couldn't let his Serena experience any such feeling of... love. His thoughts were intruded as the guard came back.
"Guard, tell the others to bring along the other three for the execution. More pain is always welcome." He said.
"Yes sir. I will tell them." The guard left as soon as he had come to tell the other guards of the plans.
Even though you couldn't tell, the devil man was smiling in the depths of the darkness he sat in.
'Tomorrow,' he thought, 'Tomorrow Serena will cry for me.'
